Buy Helix
The Helix Dusk mattress is a hybrid bed-in-a-box model designed for back and combination sleepers, offering a medium-firm feel. It combines foam layers with pocketed coils for comfort and support, and is available in standard and Luxe versions. The Luxe model includes additional features like a Tencel cover and zoned support. The mattress is particularly recommended for back sleepers, providing good spinal alignment and pressure relief, but may be too soft for stomach sleepers and those over 250 pounds. It has average motion isolation and is designed to be cooling, with the Luxe model offering better temperature regulation. Customer feedback is generally positive, with an average rating of 4.6 out of 5.
